How to Grow Pineapple Sage
Pineapple Sage thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a great choice for herb gardens, borders, and containers. Hardy in USDA Zones 8-10, it can be grown as an annual in cooler climates or overwintered indoors.

For the best results, plant in a sunny spot with plenty of room for its upright growth habit.
